Women’s History Month is the perfect time to honor some of the remarkable achievements of women. Yet, celebrating these accomplishments is something we can do at any time of the year! One of our favorite ways to do so is through reading about women’s stories.

Julie Gulley, a New Horizon Academy District Curriculum Coordinator, joins us to highlight five children’s books that center on trailblazing women throughout history.
